Anyone have any experience building a bushmaster on a Rem 700, Savage, or Marlin lever action?

I have no experience in actually building one myself, other than being there when my UF Inc. "Game Breaker" was assembled. UF builds them using Rem 700 actions and uses Lothar Walther barrels. I've had mine for a few years now, with a Leupold VX6 3-18x44 and HS Precision stock. Its exceptionally accurate for me. s19.postimg.org/rx2sqauib/100_4920.jpgs19.postimg.org/l6mbguzmr/100_4967a.jpgNow that many of the states have approved some straight walled cartridges for whitetail hunting, many custom builders started making the 450 Bushmaster in both the bolt and AR platforms. Ruger started making them in the "American" model, after Randy's in Bad Axe, MI ordered special, a large batch of rifles and sold out in a week. CVA is making a 450 Bushmaster and there's rumors that other manufactures are to follow. IIRC, Michigan's straight walled rules are 1.600" minimum and 1.800" maximum length. I think Boyds is now building stocks for the 450 Bushmaster bolts too. They are a DANDY rifle for moderate range hunting. They have little recoil and although some are adding muzzle brakes, it only makes the rifle louder

I absolutely don't need one but I've thought about putting together a .458 SOCOM

One of these would be cool with a big 350 or 400 gr bullet going 1050 fps and a can.
